I would like to know the difference between 平気, 冷静, and 穏やか. They mean "calm"
but what is the difference between them ?

> 案外本当は **平気** なんじゃないの‌ I guess that means you're not that bothered by it
> after all?‌
>
> **冷静** に返されオレは言葉を詰まらせた。 She returned my words calmly and shut me up.
>
> なんていうオレの **穏やか** な気持ちはすぐに消し飛ばされてしまった。 My tranquility and peace was suddenly
> interrupted.

From what I guess,

平気 : not to be bothered

冷静: to remain cool

穏やか : related to peace of mind

Am I right ?

You are basically right.

  * **平気** : antonym for "damaged", "dangerous", "ill", "negatively affected", etc.
  * **冷静** : antonym for "lost one's cool", "short-tempered", "angry", etc.
  * **穏やか** : antonym for "anxious", "restless", "bothered", etc.
